Marissa M. Married on 10/16/2022Stress-free wedding day music experience!
Melissa was such a wonderful person to work with! I knew I wanted a harpist at the wedding ceremony, but I have next to zero knowledge about what songs sound good coming from a harp. Melissa helped me during the song selection process: gauging what types of music I enjoyed, suggesting songs, and also explaining differences between prelude, processional, and recessional. She made the entire process incredibly easy, which is such a godsend when planning a stressful event! I only had to tell her the wedding day timeline and she made it happen with no issues.
I cannot recommend Melissa enough! We received many compliments about her. -
